I have been using the ,,H,, stamped Bravo driven gears for many years with the Low Bump Shift lever, it works just fine, no problems ever

Well others have given you the answer you need.
Send it with your original shift linkage unless it was damaged and you need a new one.

But I'd say your new gears with that part number are high bump, including your original gears if they had that same number stamped on them, perhaps the originals were missing the H for some reason.
As the low bump gears at that ratio have a totally different part number.
According to the parts listing, everything WAS high bump until after a certain serial number. Then they classify the gear sets as high bump or low.
What I'm getting at IMO is, according to part numbers your old gears were high bump.

The new set have the H btw?
Also you said the shift linkage looks like a low bump in the service manual.
Do they have side by side comparisons of the two?

These are from the latest service manual. I definitely have the low bump shifter according to the pics. I'm don't understand why the gear set has the wrong numbers etched on them. Maybe they ran out of high bump parts and installed low bump rings on them. I found a high bump lever on eBay I'm going to install just in case. Thank you all for the replies. Hope this info help someone in the future.
